My mother-in-law buys these tablets even though she doesn’t have a dishwasher at home. Although they are not meant for washing dishes, they really do perfect things around the house. For example, my mother-in-law can perfectly clean the washing machine and burnt baking sheets with them. Since I learned this, I have them at home too.
You won’t read this on the packaging – clever housewives discovered it completely by accident
Against drain odors and blockages
If you’re bothered by a drain odor, or worry that it might clog, you can solve it this easily. Put one tablet into the drain and slowly pour hot water from a kettle over it. Let it act – there will be no trace of the smell. If you want to further improve the effect and especially dissolve deposits, then rinse the drain with ordinary vinegar.
Washing machine odor eliminator
If you need to immediately eliminate the smell from the washing machine, throw two dishwasher tablets into the drum. Then there will be no trace of the odor. Housewives have found this trick most effective.
Cleaning the oven
Is your oven still properly dirty? I once bought an expensive product from the store, but this is really worth trying. I dissolved a tablet in hot water, put on gloves and applied it to the surface. I let it act for about 15 minutes and then just wiped it off. Don’t forget to finally wipe with a clean damp cloth. The point is to completely remove any chemical residues.
Baking pan like new – even the one you were ready to give up on
Maybe it’s now the most soiled place in the apartment (of course after the oven). That’s why you should know that even an old and really badly looking baking sheet or mold can be like new again. Pour hot water into it, add a tablet and leave to act overnight. In the morning just rinse – it’s like magic, all grease and dirt gone. However, don’t forget to rinse everything thoroughly.
For white clothing and curtains it’s my guardian angel
Warm water + dishwasher tablet = really ugly stains on white clothes disappear as if they’d never been there. Use it only on white fabrics, colored ones may fade. I soak in warm water with a tablet and also add it to the washing machine. It also works as a great bleach if your white clothes got stained during washing.
Degreases and brightens in the kitchen and bathroom
If there’s grease on the wall, a solution made from a tablet will help. This solution removes not only grease and film, but also scribbles from crayons and markers. Main condition: the wall must be washable!
Cleaning the washing machine
A dishwasher tablet also cleans the washing machine drum, removes limescale and even disinfects it.
It is recommended to choose a long wash program at a high temperature, run the machine empty with 2 dishwasher tablets, which you put into the detergent dispenser. This is a simple way to extend the life of household appliances!
Plastic furniture like new
Plastic garden furniture, a sun lounger, a children’s swing – this miraculous tablet literally saves all of these from dirt. It removes embedded dirt, bird droppings and all the dust. Everything will be amazingly clean!
Cleaning metal cookware
Cutlery will shine when you place it in a solution of water and a dishwasher tablet for several hours. With this solution, other metal objects will also restore their original color.
For cleaning plastic containers
Plastic containers easily absorb odors and also colors. To remove this problem, use a solution made from a tablet. If some other plastic item (like a trash can) is in a terrible state, this method can remove the odor.
Cleaning the toilet
Another great tip from my friend. Throw it into the bowl and let it act overnight. In the morning you’ll be amazed at the cleanliness and shine – and no limescale. Do the same to clean the cistern – throw a dissolved tablet into the tank and let it dissolve directly in it and act. When flushing, you’ll also clean the toilet itself.
